Summertime

Summertime


summertime, and the livin' is easy
now fish are jumpin, and the cotton is high
oh your daddy's rich, and your mama's good lookin'
so hush little baby, don't you cry
now one of these morning's, i'm gonna wake up singing
one day she said and, ya, spread my wings and i'll take to the sky
oh but until the morning, there's, ah, nothing can harm you
with daddy and mammy standing by
daddy and mammy standing by

Sweet Dreams

Sweet Dreams


"Lies everywhere"
Said the Father to the son
You're peppermint breath
Gonna choke him to death
Daddy, watch your little black sheep run
He's got knives in his back
Every time he opens up
You say "He gotta be strong if wou want to be a man"
Mr. I don't know how you can have
Sweet dreams
Sweet dreams

Land land of Liberty we're run
By a constipated man
When you live in the past
You refuse to see
When your daughter comes home nine months pregnant
With five billion points of light
Gonna shine them on the face of your friends
They've got the earth in a sling
The world on her knees
They've even got your zipper
Between their teeth
Sweet dreams
Sweet dreams
You say you have 'em
I say that you're a liar
Sweet dreams
Sweet dreams
Go on and dream
Your house is on fire

Well well summer wind
Been catching up with me
"Elephant mind missy you don't have
You're forgettin
To fly darlin' when you sleep"
I got hazy lazy susan
Takin turns all over my dreams
I got lizards and snakes
Runnin' through my body
Funny how they all have my face
Sweet dreams
You say you have 'em
I say that you're a liar
Sweet dreams
Sweet dreams
Go on and dream
Your house is on fire
Sweet dreams

Sweet Sangria

Sweet Sangria


I know, you know every desperado and sharp shooter
In the West you say that I can't see behind the mask
Of those who call themselves the good guys in this
Who take and take, so are you with me or not you say
This time decide

Balmy days, sweet Sangria
She's been gone, have you seen her?
Senorita shyly turning away
Leaving me our fading flame

Yeah, you think about that what you believe in
It matters now to you and me what you believe in
I'm takin' in, I said, "I'm takin' in what you believe in"
It matters now to you and me

Before sundown the Mexicans leave San Antone
The car will then drop him at the border, the breaking point
I know your people have suffered time and time again
But what about I ask you now the innocents on both sides

Balmy days, sweet Sangria
She's been gone, have you seen her?
Senorita shyly turning away
Leaving me our fading flame

Yeah, you think about that what you believe in
It matters now to you and me what you believe in
'Cause I'm takin' in, you see I'm takin' in what you believe in
It matters now to you and me

So give me, give me, give me a no window, I ask you
Give me, give me, give me a bloodless road
Tell me, tell me, tell me
Why does, does someone have to, have to, have to lose?

Sweet The Sting

Sweet The Sting


With a strut into the room
With his hat cocked sure defiantly
He said "I, I have heard
That you can play the way I like it to be played."
I said, "I can play, anyway that you want.
But first I want, I want to know

Baby is it sweet sweet
Sweet the sting
Is it real this infusion
Can it heal where others before have failed?
If so then somebody
Shake shake shake me sane
Cause I am inching ever closer to the tip of this scorpion's tail

He said "I laid my weapons
Down with my pistol
Fully loaded, a hunted man
To my root, will it end
Or begin in your cinnabar juice?"

Is it sweet sweet
Sweet the sting
Is it real this infusion
Can it heal where others before have failed?
If so then somebody
Shake shake shake me sane
Cause I am inching ever closer to the tip of this scorpion's tail

Love let me breathe
Breathe you in
Melt the confusion
Until there is
There is your - union

Take To The Sky

Take To The Sky


This house is like Russia
With eyes cold and grey
You got me moving in a circle
I dyed my hair red today
I just want a little passion
To hold me in the dark
I know I've got some magic
Buried deep in my heart yeah

But my priest says
You ain't saving no souls
My father says
You ain't making any money
My doctor says
You just took it to the limit
And here I stand
With this sword in my hand
You can say it one more time
What you don't like
Let me hear it one more time then
Have a seat while I
Take to the sky

My heart is like the ocean
It gets in the way
So close to touching freedom
Then I hear the guards call my name

But my priest says
You ain't taking no souls
My father says
You ain't making any money
My doctor says
You just took it to the limit
And here I stand
With this sword in my hand
You can say it one more time
What you don't like
Let me hear it one more time then
Have a seat while I
Take to the sky

If you don't like me just a little
Why do you hang around
(There she goes again
Wearing those purple panties
There she goes again
Wearing her heart
There she goes again)
Why do you
Take it
You can say it one more time
You can say it one more time
You can say it one more time
What you don't like
Let me hear it one more time then
Have a seat while I
Take to the sky

Talula

Talula


Congratulate you
Said you had a double tongue
Balancing cake and bread
Say goodbye to a glitter girl

Talula, Talula
You don't want to lose her
She must be worth losing
If it is worth something
Talula, Talula
She's brand new now to you
Wrapped in your papoose
Your little Fig Newton

So goodbye now my baby, gotta go
Say goodbye my baby to the old world

Ran into the Henchman who severed Anne Boleyn
He did it right quickly
A merciful man
She said that one plus one is two
But Henry said
That it was three
So it was
Here I am

Talula, Talula
I don't want to lose it
It must be worth losing
If it is worth something
Talula, Talula
She's brand new now to you
Wrapped in your papoose
Your little Fig Newton

And Jamaica
Do you know what I have done
Mary M weaving on
Said what you want is in the blood of Senators
I got a Big Bird on the fishing line
With a bit of a shout, a bit of a shout
A bit of an angry snout
He's my favourite hooker of the whole bunch
And I know about his only bride
And how the Russians die on the ice
I got my rape hat on
Honey but I always could accessorise
And I never cared too much for the money
But I know right now
That it's in God's hands
But I don't know who the Father is

Talula, Talula
I don't want to lose him
He must be worth losing
If it is worth something
Talula, Talula
He's brand new now to you
Wrapped in your papoose
Your little Fig Newton

Taxi Ride

Taxi Ride


Lily is dancing
On the table
We've all been
Pushed
Too far
I guess on days
Like this
You know who your
Friends are
Just another dead fag
To you that's all
Just another light missing
On a long taxi ride
Taxi ride

And I'm down to
Your last cigarette and
This "we are one" crap
As you're invading
This thing you call
Love - she smiles
Way too much but
I'm glad you're
On my side, sure
I'm glad you're on
My side still

You think you deserve
A trust fund
Just because you
Want one
Sure you talk the talk
When you need to
I fear
The whole world is
Starting to
Believe you
Just another dead fag
To you that's all
Just another light missing
In a long taxi line
Taxi line

And I'm down to
Your last cigarette and
This "we are one" crap
As you're invading
This thing you call
Love - she smiles
Way too much but
I'm glad you're
On my side, sure
I'm glad you're on
My side still

Lily is dancing
On the
Table
We've all been pushed
Too far today
Even a glamorous
Bitch can be in
Need
This is where you know
The honey
From the
Killer bees
I'm glad you're on
My side
Sure
I'm glad you're on
My side
Sure
I'm glad you're on
My side still

Got a long taxi ride
Got a long taxi ride

Teenage Hustling

Teenage Hustling


You think you can come around here
All up in his face, all up in my world

You better know, you better know, you better know
I'm at your door, I'm at your door, I'm at your door
You better know, you better know, you better know
I'm at your door, I'm at your door, I'm at your

You gotta right, you gotta right to know
You gotta right, you gotta right to know

Me and my teenage hustling
I've been workin' it since I was fourteen
Me and my teenage hustling
I've been workin' it since I was fourteen

Me and my teenage hustling
It's gonna save me, save me, save me, save me
Save me, save me from your dirty dealings
You're a dirty girl, you're such a dirty girl

You better know, you better know, you better know
I'm at your door, I'm at your door, I'm at your door
You better know, you better know, you better know
I'm at your door, I'm at your door, I'm at your

Maybe the riddle of this accident goes back to your gossip
With a ferocious strategy you play wounded in his cockpit
But I think that you forgot my days of teenage hustling

You better know, you better know, you better know
I'm at your door, I'm at your door, I'm at your door
You better know, you better know, you better know
I'm at your door, I'm at your door, I'm at your

You gotta right, you gotta right to know
You gotta right, you gotta right to know
You gotta right, you gotta right to know

Me and my teenage hustling
I've been workin' it since I was fourteen
Me and my teenage hustling
I've been workin' it since I was fourteen

But you been skankin' around with your talentless trash
You only shoot blanks at your cocksure best
Me and my teenage hustling
Me and my teenage hustling

It's gonna save me, save me, save me, save me
Save me, save me from your dirty dealings
Now I don't mind a dirty girl
Say I don't mind a dirty girl

You better know, you better know, you better know
I'm at your door, I'm at your door, I'm at your door
You better know, you better know, you better know
I'm at your door, I'm at your door, I'm at your door

Thank You

Thank You


If the sun refused to shine
I would still be lovin' you
When mountains crumble to the sea
There'll still be you and me

Kind woman, I give you my all
Kind woman, nothing more

Little drops of rain whisper of the pain
Tears of loves lost in the days gone by
My love is strong, with you there is no wrong
Together we shall go until we die
My, my, my
Inspiration's what you are to me
Inspiration, look see

And so today, my world it smiles
Your hand in mine, we walk the miles
Thanks to you it will be done
For you to me are the only one
Happiness, no more be sad
Happiness....I'm glad

That Guy

That Guy


That guy swears he will walk
And carries a chip as big as New York
That guy
At night makes me scream
And smashes the best possibilities
That guy
Just brings his war home, she cries,
Why can't daddy leave his war outside?
That guy
When he wants can love
Like no other love
Until the darkness comes
Do we make up to break up?
Do we break up then wake up?
To cuts instead of kisses
To cuts instead
Instead
Instead
That guy swears he will walk
And carries a chip as big as New York
That guy
Cannot seem to see
There are no other guys
But the one he used to be
Do we make up to break up?
Do we break up then wake up?
To cuts instead of kisses
To cuts instead
Instead
Instead
Will we make up?
Will we break up?
Will I wake up with, with
That guy
That guy
That guy
